Admin and Server Commands

Useful Commands to Use as Admin of Everyday He.ro

If you have ever played in a Minecraft multiplayer server before, you may be familiar with commands such as ”/warp” or ”/spawn” and things like that. As an admin, you can do lots of things. The Vanilla servers don’t offer many commands, but Bukkit supports all sorts of them in the form of plugins. Since this guide is based on the Vanilla server software, I will stick to some of the commands used in it. If you are in the game while initiating a command, you have to use a forward-slash ”/” before typing it in. This tells the client that the text following it will be a command and not a chat message. However, if you are using commands from the server software, the console will only accept commands without the slash ”/”, so you would just type it as is.

Changing the gamemode of a player:

/gamemode <0/1> <player> In the player spot, you will put the name of the person of whom you want to change the gamemode of, this could be yourself or another player on the server. In the next part, you will either put ”0” which is Survival or ”1” which is Creative. The brackets are not used. For example, a sample command would say: /gamemode 1 PrinceTom which will change my game type to Creative mode.

Teleporting a player to another player:

/tp <player> <target>

The player spot is the person you want to teleport and the target is the person whom you want them to teleport to. Again, this could be yourself. A sample command would look like: /tp PrinceTom Sebatian_Legel which will teleport me to the person named Sebatian_Legel.

Giving items to yourself or another player:

/give <player> <block ID> <amount>

In the player spot you will add the username of the player you want to give items to. This can either be yourself or other players. When using this command you cannot use the name of block, you must the ID of the block. In the last part of this command you must enter the amount of the item you want to give, bear in mind the maximum number of items in one ‘stack’ is 64 so your items may appear in more than one stack. When using this command the items will not be delivered into your inventory but will instead be dropped at your feet, as if you had dropped them. Because of this, be careful to stand on an edge or by Lava as your items may be lost. An example of this command would be: /give PrinceTom 1 64 This would give me one stack of 64 Stone which would appear on the ground infront of my character.
